Buzz Cut Fade
The buzz cut upgraded: a uniform short clipper cut on top sharpened by a real fade on the sides, going down to skin. Cleaner than a straight buzz, lower maintenance than almost anything else, and one of the most searched fade styles. Excellent for thinning hair and hot climates. Maintain every 2-3 weeks to keep the fade crisp.

HISTORY_&_ORIGIN
Born from military regulation cuts, the buzz went mainstream as the ultimate no-fuss haircut. Adding a skin fade on the sides is the barbershop-era refinement: it turns a purely practical cut into a styled one, with the gradient doing all the visual work.
MAINTENANCE
The most forgiving cut there is — but the fade is what needs upkeep. Refresh every 2-3 weeks. No styling products needed; sunscreen on exposed scalp in summer.
BARBER_TIPS
Ask for a #1 or #2 all over the top with a skin fade on the sides and back. Specify where the fade should start — low (above the ears) reads subtle, high reads bold. Ask for a clean neckline finish, squared or rounded.
